317 field trip at Dorcas Bay

These pages will always be under construction. Repairs are currently underway, now that I've changed host. Really, I mean it this time.

I'm now in the Macroecology lab, at the University of Ottawa. I'm the Geomatics Researcher for CANPOLIN, the Canadian Pollination Initiative.

My previous contract was at UQO, at the Laboratoire des Systèmes Spatiaux Intelligents. I was working on a high-resolution forestry project with LiDAR and multispectral imagery.

In 2005, I left a great group of people at ECOS, in L'Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ( Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ).

I did my PhD in the Dept. of Geography at the University of Toronto.
My advisor was Ferko Csillag, who we miss very much indeed (tributes), and I'm still a member of the GUESS research group.

My PhD research focussed on quantifying vegetation change in a snow goose summer colony using Landsat imagery collected since 1973. The project fell under the umbrella of the Hudson Bay Project, at the La Perouse Bay study site in Wapusk National Park. Financial support by Delta Waterfowl Foundation, among others, is most gratefully acknowledged.

Here's a PDF version of my thesis (12 Mb).

On the accuracy of statistical procedures in Microsoft Excel 97
B.D. McCullough and B. Wilson 1999

Abstract

The reliability of statistical procedures in Excel are assessed in three areas: estimation (both linear and nonlinear); random number generation; and statistical distributions (e.g., for calculating p-values). Excel's performance in all three ares is found to be inadequate. Persons desiring to conduct statistical analyses of data are advised not to use Excel.
